Spontaneity!

Hello friends! 

I recently have found myself with time off work, as it is approaching a long holiday weekend in my little corner of the world I thought of surprising the Working Man. 

As we were having our nightly conversation I causally mentioned that I happened to have a wee amount of time off and how utterly bored I would be between procrastination and studying for 2 exams (which are pretty much multi choice so no problem there) and he thought it would be a fantastic idea to fly me up and jumped at the chance of being able to see me again. So the 3 month wait turned into just one, frantically searching and booking flights it is just over a week and counting. I'm so excited!

Being spontaneous is such a great feeling and I could definitely hear the change in his voice as it lifted his spirits. Spontaneity doesn't have to mean jumping on a plane to go see a loved one, it can be something simple like writing a letter or a nice note to anyone, it's the small things that count and it is those small things that we remember as we grow older (as I think 'back in my day...'). Even such activities as taking a picnic, nothing fancy, like a few sandwiches and going down to the local park or beach and making the most of your time with somebody special, family or friends, you name it!  Try at least once a week to do something spontaneous for someone, even a small bunch of flowers, I'm sure they will love it. Like I said it's the thought that counts...

What kind of activities do you find fun to do with family and friends? Please share, I'm sure we could all learn something new from one anther. 

Much love from my corner,

Spring is here!

You can really start to tell that Spring is in the air. The sun comes out, flowers popping up everywhere and I find people are just generally more happy (I can definitely relate to that). I find that photos just don't really capture the fully potential of an image but here are a few snaps of why I just love spring...

What do you love the most about spring? It would be great to hear your response,

Much Love

Winter to Spring

Hi Guys!

Well it certainly has been a while and I'm really sorry I haven't been around. It has been a tough few months and those winter blues definitely crept in and kept me under the covers.

But the spring is here! Time to spring into action (terrible pun!) and enjoy the lovely weather that is on its way.

While I have been hibernating, I've also been super busy! I have moved my belongings out of home, had a wee holiday/ unpacking break and started a new semester of university.

My partner, lets call him Working Man, recently got a new job, which happened to be in another town! So over a couple of weeks we packed up our belongings (and what a lot we did have) and went for the road trip of a life time! Now about two years ago over the Easter break we decide to plan a road trip, two weeks of tiki-touring around our country and it was great fun, except it decided to rain the entire time. Now with our big move we were tracing the same path but this time we had a massive trailer to pull behind our truck, but the weather was fantastic! It was a great experience but not one I wish to relive, so next a move comes around I recommend hiring a moving truck, seriously. But I feel it did bring the Working Man and I closer together.

So that has been my life for the past few months. I am still packing up a few bits and pieces here and there, plus it is a bit of a struggle realizing that I won't be able to see the Working Man for a few months but that is the great thing about technology! We pretty much Skype and ring each other every night so its great. Bring on December as he is flying home because we are both graduating (fingers crossed for me!) and  plus it will be closer to Christmas and be so festive! But that is ages away and we are getting ahead of ourselves here. 

Just a little update from my corner of the world, much love
